Abstract
An inkjet recording device includes an intermediate transfer belt, a discharger, a driving belt, a supporting member, and an adhesion unit. The intermediate transfer belt is endless and supports an intermediate image. The discharger forms the intermediate image by discharging ink onto an outer face of the intermediate transfer belt. The driving belt is endless and arranged on an inner side of the intermediate transfer belt and drives the intermediate transfer belt to run. The supporting member is arranged on an inner side of the driving belt to support the intermediate transfer belt and has a plane which is parallel to the discharger and which contacts an inner face of the driving belt facing the outer face of the driving belt and covering the area of ejection by the discharger. The adhesion unit causes the intermediate transfer belt and the driving belt to adhere to one another.
